A Coronation Street character's drastic personality change shocked fans during tonight's episode.
Characters on the long-running soap are still reeling from the dramatic fire that led to Alina Pop miscarrying the baby she was expecting with Tyrone Dobbs.
The blaze was started by Hope - who has since fled from the street with her mother Fiz.

Fiz and Tyrone have kept this a secret from the other characters in the ITV show - but Evelyn Plummer and Alina both had their suspicions something wasn't quite right.
On Friday's episode, Evelyn quizzed her grandson about Fiz's whereabouts and eventually got him to confess the truth.
The Maureen Lipman character shared some wisdom on the importance of family and even offered some kind words to Alina - who she has often had a frosty relationship with.
Fans of the show thought this was a far-cry from the character introduced as Tyrone's hostile grandmother and took to Twitter to say how they didn't expect the personality change.
One user said: "#Evelyn being kind is strange…"
Another added: "It’s weird seeing Evelyn being nice"
A third said: "Haha yeah it is weird seeing Evelyn being nice."
A fourth commented: "Evelyn came to the street as a selfish, deceiving old dragon. From that to now be a caring, kind old lady, a shoulder to cry on and one of the most lovable characters"
Coronation Street airs on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on ITV and ITVHub.
